Maybe he need to grow some brain instead of only muscles. Instead of blowing everything up in the engineering room with his gun he could just have removed some crystals and hidden them. Think a little before you act. As soon as they regain control over the ship it could have been fully operational a lot fast just be reinserting the removed crystals. Instead they had to rebuild everything he blew up. Not clever.

I don't think so....

He knew the Wraith could find them any minute, he didn't know where they were and what they were supposed to do and why Todd took over the ship, for all he knew this could have been Todd simply double crossing them and everyone but Ronon and Keller were already dead, and he didn't know which crystals to pull. Shootnig the entire array and if they manage to regain control of the ship dealing with it later is the fastest and most certain way of stopping the wraith from whatever it was they were doing which was the priority. Ronon acted just fine....

I agree.

Ronon does like to blast, but in this instance, he took the correct course. All he saw was more and more Wraith beaming over to the Daedalus. If he was going to do anything, he had to act quickly.

but I didn't realize that the Aurora/Orion class ship was destroyed buy one of the exploding gates.

Yep, and he also said

that they didn't have the materials to rebuild. All they seem to have had was the Asgard beaming technology. I'm still interested into when they removed themselves from our galaxy. We know that they arrived around 10,000 years ago to the Pegasus because he also said they got there for the war. Plus, Todd said that he was around at that time when the Ancients first activated the Attero device. That is how he knew about it. BTW, we knew that the Wraith could live a long time, but 10,000 years! That's more than a long time.

Question,

could anyone get a clear picture of the markings on the Asgard's forehead? I couldn't. I could not tell what it was.

To be honest, given it was obvious he was going to do it. I'm surprised Kellar didn't realise that's what he was going to do until he did it.

Yeah, a one line revelation 'oh yeah btw...'. Not entirely sure of the point of blowing it up though tbh, I mean it doesn't hurt the show the travellers having one. Might have even made the Asgard ships seem a bit more formidable having the Orion-eske ship be the one to take them down.

When did they used the Asgard beaming technology?

Beckett said in an earlier episode that he didn't believe the Wraith would ever die from old age or natural causes. I had always thought that all of the Wraith were around during the war with the Ancients.

Any ideas?

They seemsed to be some type of implants... as illustrated by the screenshots there.

After the gate blew up, I thought oh, no. They lost the only crystal in the galaxy that allows them to go to the Milky Way galaxy. Then at the end of the episode, they're sending Daniel back to the SGC by gate. Did I miss something, or is that a continuity problem?

Dialing device, we see McKay take it out in 'Home'. So there is no continuity error.

Invisible Painting is correct. The SGC gate can dial anywhere because it has no DHD, and therefore no built-in restrictions like the other gates. The Atlantis DHD is the only one in Pegasus that can dial out of the galaxy, because of that crystal.

Except that they showed the control room in rubble, too. I guess we're to assume that they saved enough that they could salvage the dialing device? Writers can make what they want work, but I think they just missed the mark on that one.

Having just watched that part again, it's quite clear that the workstations in the gate room are largely intact - in fact you can see some of the LCD computer monitors on said desks are flickering but still active - so I think that a single crystal, housed inside one of those desks would be in a much more protected position during the explosion - besides, there are some partitions between the gate itself and the desk with the dialling device. Maybe the writers should have had it destroyed, but I don't think it's much of a stretch to see why a single crystal would have survived intact - especially when something like an LCD monitor also survived...

a nitpick of mine is - i thought the asgaard didnt have hyperspace technology, i thought they used the same method as they do in alien (cryosleep or sumit) 10k years ago. so tbh they would only just be arriving there now lol

They used a cryo system around 30,000 years ago. They arrived in Paegasus during the Ancient-Wraith war. The Asgard leader said the Wraith destroyed their intergalactic ships showing they had access to intergalactic hyperspace tech.
